An Outstanding 9” “Frog” Ice
Spear Fishing Decoy by Richard H. Stammer from South Dakota, formerly
from the Heron Lake Area and Southern Minnesota, circa 2000. Stammer is
considered one of the finer Fish Decoy Makers; his decoys are Hand
Carved and Hand Painted with Exceptional Care. This particular “Frog”
displays Mint Original Paint, Glass Eyes, with Metal Side Fins and Feet
for Effective Movement as a Lure. The decoy has Black Paint on the Top
with Individual Red Spots circled with Yellow; the Body Paint then fades
to a Gray/White Bottom. The Decoy is Signed with Stammer’s Initials “RHS.”
Stammer is especially appreciated for his Spearing Frogs, along with a
wide range of other Spear Fishing Decoys. Stand Not Included. An
Excellent “Frog” Ice Spear Fishing Decoy.
